QTravel is a travel expense tracker formerly used for my private journeys. It allows to have a online expenses overview during private or business journeys.
QTravel has three major goals.
First of all, it can be used as a travel expense tracker. It is not really designed to be used for business, but to have an overview over travel expenses on (my) holiday trips. Nevertheless, also business use is possible. QTravel is able to use fixed or floating currency exchange rates. An automated link to the yahoo exchange website is possible.
The second goal is to sample tips. I think everyone knows the problem, to remember a nice restaurant from the last visit, but does not really kown where it has been. QTravel allows to sample different tip types. This tips are intended to be published in the future on a central website. If it get to that point, everyone can share the tips of others.
The third goal is to organize group traveling. From the beginning it will be designed for motorbike travelling in groups with a money pool for all. This will include features like common and individual payment, fuel and distance statistics.
The AkademicRockerClub does one or two trips per year, where we spend some money into a center pocket, dont to be boared by paying everyone himself. As we drive different bikes and some are using the train to reach the destination and others not, there are always differences in spending money. This was handled manually until now, which was a lot of work. This program allows to handle groups money and do some other statistics (fuel consumtion, distance, etc.).
Please report any problems or feature requests to. Werner Schulte
At the moment, it is possible to enter currency exchange rates, costs (expenses) in different currencies, travel tips and users. Users entry is not very helpfull, because there is no user specific calculation at the moment.
I used the actual state of the program already for two trips and found it very helpfull. The costlist gives an overview over all single and total expenses, while the tip list will be helpfull in the future to find e.g. good restaurants.
This section describes the way, qtravel will go, if I have enough time to implement all the features below. As I work for a very busy company, implementation of new features maybe delayed.
